Car sputtering going uphill

Asked by Scott Jan 29, 2019 at 04:00 PM about the 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2009 nissan altima 2.5 when I go up hill or let off
acceleration and step back on the car sputters and shakes.
It loses alot of power. When I go over 40 it goes away. I
changed the spark plugs a month ago. The check engine
light came on and it was coil 3. Changed that. It went away.
One month goes by and it blows another spark plug. I see
oil on the spark plug. What could make the spark plugs foul
so fast. And why is my car sputtering under 40. I put
injector cleaner. Idk what's wrong with it.

    I forgot my keys in a friend's car, and need to get in the car, but the alarm will go off if I do the hanger and wedge trick. Is there any way I can get in the car without the alarm going off?
